the Acer spin five is almost like a one-size-fits-all computer it combines a lot of features in a slim package for a reasonable price it comes in 13 and 15 inch models with pricing starting at $700 its 360 degree hinges make it versatile to use as a laptop portable TV workstation or tablet though it's stylish lease belt and solid thanks to its all-metal design it's a bit heavy at a little over three pounds that's one reason why it's bulky and cumbersome to use as a tablet it's fine is set flat on a surface for writing on but it's too big too leisurely hold up like a book it has Intel's new 8th generation processors which have been strong performers in the handful of systems we've already tested with them inactive stylus pen that works well with the HD touchscreen is included with the laptop there isn't a place to store the stylus on it though it has a full-size backlit keyboard that's comfortable to type on in a smooth touchpad with the fingerprint reader on the top left corner the large variety of ports is a nice surprise since most slim laptops these days skimp out on them it's a big plus that the spin 5 has so many USB ports plus HDMI and an SD card slot though it's modest screen was it made specifically for watching video the spin 5 is more than fine for binge watching a few episodes of your latest guilty pleasure it's sharp bright and displays lifelike colors with wide viewing angles the speaker's located above the tree board are also surprisingly loud battery life is also solid it consistently lasted me a full workday and in streaming video testing it lasted over eight and a half hours the Acer spin 5 is reasonably priced for everything it offers it has all the features most people need and more while the stylist isn't the biggest selling point it's a useful tool that adds value to the convertible notebook it fits within your budget I'd give the Acer spin 5 serious consideration you
